I have around 71K miles on the VX and the driver front pad has started making a gouge into the rotor. Since I've had it since 18K, I'm guessing it is all factory, though I've read about factory brake pads lasting much longer. I have already bought the OEM brake pads from Merlin and planning to go to the mechanic soon, but am not sure about rotors, so I'm hoping you guys can shed some light on the following two options for the rotors:
1. What has your experience been with resurfacing the factory rotors? How long have your resurfaced rotors lasted and did you have any issues with the resurfaced rotors?
2. What has your experience been with the autozone Duralast rotors?
The mechanic charges $34 for resurfacing the rotors while a set of Duralast runs for about $95 after tax. Ideally I'd like to keep the factory ones but would really appreciate learning about your experience with the above two options. I've read about many here using R1 concepts rotors but I just don't have the time at this point to wait for those.
